• When I started my computer this morning, it ran chkdsk at startup, windows startup it goes immediately to chkdsk, it will be repeated again and again. I can boot into safe mode, but if I try to start windows normally it runs chkdsk and does not start

  Windows does not start normally, just run chkdsk again and again

  First test the hard drive to make sure it's healthy. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  If the hard drive then passes the physical tests, safe mode:
  Start > run > cmd [Enter]
  fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This will tell you if the disc is dirty or not. Then always in cmd:

  chkntfs /x c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This tells Windows not not to check this drive at startup. Reboot and it should go on the desktop. Once Windows loaded, run cmd and:

  Chkdsk /f /r c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  CHKDSK will run through all 5 steps. After that it's over, always in cmd:

  fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  to see that the dirty bit is not set on this drive.

• Configuring updates 3 of 3 remains at 90% for hours, and then finally my computer starts. How can I solve this problem?

  When I stop my laptop and reboot I get the text next message on my screen of configuration updates to date 3/3 0% then it goes straight to 90% and stay like that for at least 6 hours. So, I'm on my login screen. I have a laptop Acer Aspire 2920. Then when I log in there is not problems that all programs work correctly.

  Hello

  It happens every time you start the computer?

  If this is the only time where you received this message, then it is because updates is installed on the computer and gets set up when you start the computer.

  If this happens every time that you start the computer, and then follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  Method 1: Try in safe mode.

  Step 1: Try to boot in safe mode and check if the problem persists:

• Windows load with black screen and does not start after windows updates

  Original title: load windows normally screen will not continue

  I went to my computer tower and I chose to install updates when closing.  I went back later to re - turn on my computer and now it loads to the top of the black screen that gives you 5 options. safe mode, safe mode with networking safe mode command prompt, windows loads normally and finally to load windows from last known configuration that works.  Problem is that none of these options work.  they all return me to the same screen.  Help this laptop came preloaded with Win XP Media Center edition and I can't get back to work.  IM assuming I need a XP disk support center but I can't find them anywhere! HELP PLEASE SOMEONE!

  Hi Burton089,

  Your hypothesis is right. To resolve this problem, we need to repair your installation of Windows using the Windows XP disk. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the laptop to check if they have the Windows recovery disk.

• Windows 8 for Windows xp update fails at 90% and does not start.

  I read the below and see if there are solutions.

  I paid for 1 hour to help Microsoft Tech to take on my desktop computer and at the end

  He said there are so many chat lines, he could not follow after clicking on install.

  He beat anything, antivirus, I disconnected all devices except the mouse and keyboard.

  Of course the update, which I downloaded and confirmed with their diagnosis that the

  computer has been updated failed 90% and would not restart.

  When I went to system logs, I even tried to disable restore.

  Nothing helps.

  I think there must be something which is not allow restarting after installation.

  The message just says: failed to install. No diagnosis or whatever it is.

  If a Microsoft technology, which grabbed my computer couldn't do work I'm close to trying to get

  my money back and stopped a complete package. I don't have to Microsoft backup disk, which
  I'll try again.

  Once again: problem is installation of Windows 8 reaches 90% and then only will fail.

  ... Install only Windows 8 reaches 90% and then fails.

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade a Windows XP-based computer or install Windows 8 (.1).

• My phone is lock and does not start after you install an update to Windows.

  After you have installed the Windows Vista Home Premium on my laptop, I am unable to start my laptop properly.

  Boots systems and load normally until the display of connection where instead of the login screen, I show the screen updated frozen on "Installing part 3/3 (0%) update." The laptop stays on this screen, with the cursor froze with a loading icon, for about half a minute until the screen shuts off and reboots the system, put the system in a loop, I can't on.

  I tried: turning off on and powered. using advanced boot options to open the system to all types of 'Safe Mode' and leaving the laptop for some time before trying to turn on the system again. All these things have not worked and the system remains in the lock down.

  I wonder if it is a common problem after the latest Vista updates or if it is more specific to my laptop. Whatever it is, any kind of feedback and advice would be most appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Windows Update under XP Professional 64 bit icon has changed and does not work in the Start Menu

  I didn't want to be informed of updates to two-day but inadvertently somehow I am struck back for all notifications.

  Windows Update icon turned blue light with an i or an exclamation mark inside. When I click it, nothing happens. I can access the automatic updates in Control Panel to change the settings, but I still don't get the notifications.

  How to make it all back please?

  PS, I can always access updates through http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us , but I don't want to do that.

  Thank you in advance.

  Thanks Robear & Diana. I'll keep your suggestions for the future Win XP 64-bit installations. I just gritted my teeth bought & installed Windows 7 64-bit. Problem solved.

• After that update of windows 64 bit system Firefox does not start

  I've updated to IE 10 and it should be updated to complete. My preference is Firefox, but it does not start and produces an error box telling me that Firefox could not start, it also sends you a report of failure.
  It happened in a previous windows update and to reolve that I go back to an earlier era. I don't want to do that this time, I want to use 10 IE and Firefox. If you are unable to solve this I have to use IE 10, it is so much faster now.

  Yes thanks - please start firefox in safe mode (by pressing the shift key, while it launches) and go to firefox > options > advanced > general & disable hardware acceleration.

  Hey Janeynflorida

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
